Thank you to everyone who came along and supported our Anniversary Open Day event and took part in our fitness challenges!
Challenge 1 was maximum reps on the bench press in 1 attempt at 60kg for the men and 30kg for the women. Michael Mullins scored an incredible 65 reps putting him in first place. On the ladies side Debbie Smith smashed out 33 reps for a first place finish.
Challenge 2 was to dead hang from the bar for the longest time possible. Debbie Smith took first place again hanging for 2 minutes and 11 seconds, the longest time of any participant. On the men’s side Luke Roper took first place with a time of 2 minutes and 10 seconds.
The final challenge was to complete calories on the assault bike in the quickest time possible. The men had to complete 35 calories and for the women it was 25 calories. This doesn’t sound like much but anyone who has used this machine knows it is an absolute weapon! Luke Roper took first place again on the men’s side with a fastest time of 1 minute and 16 seconds. For the ladies Amanda Swann was first completing the calories in 1 minute 38 seconds.
Participants received 1 point for first place, 2 for second, 3 for third etc and the person with the lowest total points combined over the 3 challenges was the winner. The final results for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place are as follows:
Men
1st Luke Roper 6 points
2nd Michael Mullins 11 points
2nd Tim Simpson 11 points
3rd Guy Norman 12 points

*NEW CLASS* Muay Thai MONDAYS 19:30 - 20:30 - We've had a great turn out so far and some really good feedback - thanks Dani! "Chao is an excellent teacher, very friendly, professional, respectful and patient. He spent time going over the fundamentals in a way that was clear and easily understood by all skill levels. He was patient with the beginners, and made the class accessible for everyone, by going round to each person to correct their movements and tell them how to improve. It really helps you to learn when you receive individual attention and feedback. It was inspiring to learn from a teacher with so much experience from teaching in Thailand and teaching international students. As much as I loved kickboxing sessions with both Jason and Tom, their styles are much more informal and relaxed, so having someone so focussed and passionate to learn from is really motivating. Chao's focus ensured we got 110% from the class. Lots of time was spent going over technique, which was excellent as everyone was keen to learn." #muaythai#martialarts#martialartsgym#brightonandhove#Undergroundgymbtn

If you are an influencer you have to be honest and true to your audience, I’ve always prided myself on pushing myself to be the best that I can be, so when I ask that of others I can have their trust from day 1. #leadbyexample @bencoomber just dropped a mega video on this, (I advise you to like his page and watch) 🙏live your life to fullest but ensure you have a balance. Eat well, Train smart, and take time to recover 😏
